AMD’s Ryzen CPUs, Chipsets Allegedly Contain Serious Security Flaws

“In a recent disclosure, security firm CTS-Labs has accused AMD of failing to catch 13 high-profile and serious security flaws in four separate families: Masterkey, Ryzenfall, Chimera, and Fallout” writes Joel Hruska for extremetech.com. The security firm theorizes this could be used to create a keylogger or to spy on network accesses.If true, these security flaws collectively represent some significant problems that weren’t previously known, and AMD is going to have to do some significant work to fix them.But a new security firm is claiming AMD has no fewer than 13 critical vulnerabilities in its Ryzen processor and chipsets, including vulnerabilities within the heart of the CPU itself.
